Been using this for years. As a one with hotmonal, ance-prone skin, this one has helped reduce scarring significantly! Still get acne and scars but they never stick around for long. Compatible with my sensitive skin! Get ezcema flair ups around my eyes occasionally due to weather tho

#great value
#works well

absolute blessing. it has such a pretty smell and absorbs really well and is light. i don’t think it clogs your pores but i don’t feel it clogged mine (i struggled with closed comedones). definitely recommend for normal to oily/combo skin. makes my skin a little bit shiny but not that much

Hmmmm its got an oily consistency, nice smell but thats a minus in my book. Takes FOREVEERRRR to dry. I wouldn’t apply this in the morning unless you have an extra 20 minutes on ur hands since im pretty sure you have to let all products dry before applying sunscreen. Don’t know how true it is but i don’t play about with sunscreen. Maybe I should’ve given it at least 2 months before judging, but Show more
